Chapter 2. System Design & Applications
System Design
The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with
speaker, keypad, touch panel, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided
upon before pre-wiring so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing
with other components such as multi-room controllers, source components, communications controllers, serial controllers, and user interfaces, so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire
stage.
Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, keypads, touch panels, volume controls, amplifiers, and communications gear. Be sure to include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in brackets, patch cords, power supplies, etc.

Chapter 3: Connections
Component Video Outputs
Use high-quality component video cables to make connections between sources and the V85’s inputs. Sources will
typically be located near the V85 at the head-end of the system. Component video outputs will typically be sent via
RG-6 coaxial cables from the head-end to televisions, monitors and video projectors with component video inputs
located throughout the house. Use F-to-RCA adaptors to connect high quality component video cables to each TV,
monitor or video projector as shown below. Maximum coaxial wire run is 300 feet.

Cat-5 Video Outputs to CVRM Receive Module
ELAN’s CVRM Component Video Receive Module makes an ideal companion accessory to the V85 when long video
wiring runs are necessary. The CVRM receives component video signals from the V85's Cat-5 outputs, up to 500 feet
away with no image quality degradation.
Run Cat-5 cable between the head-end location (where the V85 is located) and the destination location (a TV, monitor
or projector). The drawing below shows an example of using CVRM Receive Modules with the Cat-5 outputs of the
V85. See Appendix A: CVRM Component Video Receive Module for detailed specifications and dip-switch settings.
Control Connections - IR
There are two ways to send IR to the V85 using the 3.5mm IR IN port. The IR OUT port passes any IR signal that is

5. Programming
Use ELAN's configuration software to assign commands to keypads, Ole' Touchpads and Touch Panels. When
programming ELAN user interfaces, the configuration software will automatically assign the video switching commands. Please consult ELAN's configuration software and the Help file for specific programming steps and full IR,
and RS-232 code sets.
Control Methods
There are two methods of controlling the V85.
• IR
• RS-232
Overall system configuration and design goals will determine which programming method should be used.
IR
Use IR commands when controlling the V85 with ELAN keypads, Ole' Touchpads or hand-held remote controls.
RS-232
Use RS-232 commands when controlling the V85 with the ELAN SS1 or other third-party RS-232 controllers or when
using a computer to test/verify RS-232 functionality.
V85 RS-232 Protocol
The V85 uses the following communications settings:
•
•
•
•
•
Baud-9.6k or 19.2k (Default)
8 Data Bits
1 Stop Bit
No Parity
Flow Control-None
Command Structure
• Prefix: Must be present for every command string (Required)
• Command: See list below for all commands (Required)
• Parameter: Decimal value of zone/source command
• Carriage Return: 0x0d or Decimal 13 (Required)
&V85, cmd, par <cr>
Command KEY
• &V85,KEY,xxx<CR> where xxx represents the decimal value of the IR
command.
• Unit responds with acknowledgement &V85,ACK,xxx<CR>
• Unit will ignore all characters preceding the ‘&’. It will process and ACK the
command as soon as the carriage return has been received.
• EXAMPLES:
&V85,KEY,041 <CR>
&V85,KEY,120 <CR>
Connects output 6 to input 2
Connects output 16 (chassis #2) to input 1

Command QRY
• &V85,QRY,u?<CR>
QRY: Queries a unit to get the current output to input assignments.
u: Unit to be queried
• &V85,QRY,u?<CR> where u is the UNIT I.D. (1-4).
The reply to a QRY is:
• &V85,QRY,u,abcdefgh<CR> a-h represents outputs 1-8 respectively.
The value will be 0-8 (0 = OFF).
• EXAMPLE:
(QUERY)
&V85,QRY,1? <CR>
Queries V85 Unit 1 for its current output to input assignments
This reply is interpreted as follows:
(REPLY)
&V85,QRY,1,28311140 <CR>
Unit 1
Output 1, Input 2
Output 2, Input 8
Output 3, Input 3
Output 4, Input 1
Output 5, Input 1
Output 6, Input 1
Output 7, Input 4
Output 8, Input 0 (OFF)
Note: The V85 requires at least 50ms between each serial command transmitted to it.
However, if the &V85,ACK,xxx<CR> is received prior to 50ms, another command can be
transmitted immediately.

Appendix A: Component Video Receive Module (CVRM)
The Component Video Receive Module (CVRM) extends Hi-Definition component video wire runs up to 500 feet
over standard Cat-5 cable. The CVRM is ideal for video distribution when using an ELAN Component Video
Controller such as the V85 to zones equipped with Hi-Definition video displays.
Cat-5 video outputs from an ELAN V85 are connected to the RJ-45 input on the back of the CVRM (See V85 Cat-5
Video Pinout Below). Component video connections on the front of the CVRM are then connected to the component video inputs of a TV or other video display.

Appendix B: Rack Mounting
Rack-Mount Brackets
When mounting the V85 Component Video Controller in an equipment rack, use the included rack mount brackets
for secure mounting and proper ventilation. The V85 requires two rack spaces. To install the V85 into a standard 19”
equipment rack:
1. Mount the brackets onto the V85 chassis from the front. Ensure that the brackets are flush with the front of the
V85. Install each of the eight screws (included) through the side mounting flanges into the holes in the sides of the
unit as shown below. Hand tighten screws! Over-tightening could cause damage to the V85.
2. Once the brackets are securely mounted, install the entire assembly into a standard 19” equipment rack from
the front using four rack screws (not included).
